it was summer in year 1994 when I experienced beaching half naked at Puerto galera Beach in Mindoro, Philippines

 These photos were taken in year 1997. I was still in the Philippines then and not yet a monk, but I already loved goin to places of solitude and silence. Who would have thought that a beach lover who loved to go half naked while doing the beachwalk would become a body-wrapped-with-monastic-habit monk in year 2002?
